Epilepsy sufferer Katie Ford is today attempting to smash a Guinness World Record in cycling to help raise funds for charities close to her heart.

Katie, who is raising funds for Epilepsy Action and Sick Kids, was diagnosed with the condition at the age of four but has never let it stand in her way - as an ultra marathon cyclist she is currently youngest British female to have completed Race Across America.

Now she has her eyes on a new prize, right here in Glasgow - becoming the world record holder for greatest distance covered on a static cycle over 12 hours.
